最近我们的中文社区大佬们纷纷写一些关于中文社区的发展理念，还有的他们建议我们树立一个个人形象。 我对形象的理解就是让大家一讲起这位HIVE友就想起他/她的形象。 我的中文水平不算好，所以也就只能用自己的理解去树立自己的形象了。看着后院一百多盆，各种各样的多肉，我是不是应该树立一个多肉发烧友的形象？
Recently, our Chinese community leaders have written some ideas about the development of the Chinese community, and some of them suggested that we should establish a personal image. My understanding of image is to make everyone think of this HIVE friend when he/she is mentioned. My Chinese is not very good, so I can only use my own understanding to establish my own image. Looking at more than a hundred pots and all kinds of succulents in the backyard, should I establish the image of a succulent enthusiast?
我进入多肉的世界才短短的一年，现在还不能称得上专家啦，但也已经有一些心得了。家门前有三盆种了十几年的的玉树，后院也种有两盆多肉拼盘，但我从来不去照顾它们，从不换盆换泥。 先生每天给它们喷一些水，它们也就长得绿绿的，小小的，没有什么欣赏价值的感觉。
I have only been in the world of succulents for a short one year, and I can't be called an expert yet, but I already have some experience. There are three pots of eucalyptus trees that have been planted for more than ten years in front of the house, and two pots of succulent platters are planted in the backyard, but I never take care of them, and never change pots and soil. My husband watered them every day, and they grow green and small, with something enjoyable.
当在朋友家的后院看到各种各样，千资百彩，不同颜色的多肉的时候，我被它们吸引了，而且朋友还把一些多肉小苗让我带回家种。我开始去YouTube 看多肉大神们怎么种多肉，听他们的建议，还在Facebook 加入一个中文一个英文的多肉群， 从大家身上学到一些种多肉的知识。
When I saw all kinds of succulents with different colors in the backyard of my friend's house, I was attracted by them, and my friend even asked me to take some small succulents home to plant. I started to go to YouTube to watch how succulent masters grow succulents, listened to their suggestions and advices, and joined a Chinese and an English succulent group on Facebook to learn some succulent knowledge from everyone.
从那以后，我也就开始了我的养多肉之路，每个周末跑去专卖植物的大卖场寻找我喜欢的多肉，又去各个不同的超市，杂货店逛逛，买一些花泥和花盆回家，每个周末都会化上几个小时在后院看看弄弄我的多肉。
Since then, I have started my road of planting succulents. Every weekend, I go to the stores that specializes selling plants to find my favorite succulents. I also go to different supermarkets and grocery stores to buy some flower soil and flower pots home, every weekend I stay in my backyard for a few hours to enjoy and plant my succulents.
我一般只是买二寸和四寸小小的多肉， 但它们在我住的这个地方也不便宜，小的一般美元$3.99, 大的要$5.99. 先生是十分支持我的这种爱好，他取笑的说很多的女人喜欢买名牌包包，而我只买多肉，他捡到宝了。 有他这句话，我当然是想买就买，也就越买越多。
I usually only buy small 2-inch and 4-inch succulents, but they are not cheap where I live, the small ones cost $3.99, and the big ones cost $5.99. My husband is very supportive of my hobby, he made a joke that many women like to buy brand-name bags, I only buy succulents, and he picked up a treasure. With his words, of course I buy as much as I want, and I plant more and more succulents in my backyard.
我在后院搭起了一个二层的架子，种上70多盆的多肉，在周围的行人水泥地面摆上了一盆盆的多肉拼盆，还在后院的果树上挂上了多肉挂盆，连栅栏也不放过，建起了一面多肉墙，在墙的下面用了一个坏了的金鱼缸种上我培植的多肉小宝宝。 朋友过来家里玩，她说你不会连后院的菜地都种上多肉吧。我说有可能的，因我不用它种菜，种上多肉的话美观多了。
My husband built a two-story shelf in the backyard, and I put more than 70 pots of succulents there, I placed pots of succulents on the surrounding concrete ground, hung succulents on the fruit trees in the backyard. I even created a succulent wall on my fence, and underneath had a leaking goldfish tank plantting the succulent babies I propagated. A friend came over to visit, and she said if you would even plant succulents in the vegetable garden in the backyard. I said it's possible, because I don't use it to grow vegetables, and it would look much more beautiful if I planted succulents.
多肉令人减压，保持美好心情，生活开心，真的是一个非常好的兴趣。 我很喜欢多肉发烧友这个形象， 这个世界上有很多的人也是一样的十分喜欢多肉，好希望在HIVE社区能够发现同好，大家一起分享多肉，交流种植经验心得。
Planting succulents really can relieve stress, maintain a good mood, and live a happy life, so it is really a very good hobby. I like the image of succulent enthusiasts very much. There are many people in this world who also like succulents very much. I really hope that in the HIVE community, we can find someone like us, sharing succulents pictures together, and exchange planting experience.
